Reply To: Do I re-treat if I cannot find any live ones?

Follow the second application if the product tells you to. The reason is eggs. Treatments are not uniformly reliable at killing eggs, so the repeat exists to catch anything that hatches after the first go.

Skipping it because you cannot see live lice is how people end up back at the start two weeks later.
